--Very focused, accessible readings (assignment from Spr > Fall)
--Suitable preparations for and low overhead choice of assignment involving trying muddiest point CAT.
--Presenters do a good job of balancing practical/implementable information with a sense of broader themes/research. (Mike Burke, Mickey Davis, Julia Aquirre, Emily & Gillies)
--Good pacing of institutes - perhaps a little more team time earlier in the institutes.
--Overall, very well calibrated to our stage in development.
...the value to institutions of the wiki - it seems like a useful repository, but I don't yet see enough value to check it regularly or carve out time from other things for posting to additional locations.
--Sharing information on how to do things with other schools was really helpful. i picked up a few ways to implement CATs.
--Also the talk by Mike Burke helped me put all my thoughts together.
--The entire week was inspiring and motivational.
...creating a link on wiki for everyone to post their concept test. Actually encouraging them to do so.
...having phone conversations might not be necessary. Sharing data and info could be done by email.
--Understanding classroom exchanges.
--Having this Institute (Summer, 2010)
--The core group of our projects - is extremely cohesive.
--Julia's session, watching video & handouts.
--Mickey's talk with our gorup about data & what it didn't tell us.
--M. Burke's talk about cutting info out was validating.
...having a difficult time connecting to other schools (time/how much work we have invested etc.)
...leave evening free to digest info.
...don't see value in sharing across campuses.
...spread out free time - team time.
...wiki
1. not as useful as you think
2. cost us time/energy etc.
3. let us post ONLY on our site not other places
4. I won't probably use it much.
5. needs template.
